Actions from Last Week

Jay to come back next week with an update on the feature inbox triage process -- We triaged on Monday, dispatched about half the items, others need more information and use cases before they can be evaluated.

Does that mean the Firefox 5 beta release will be before the 5.* AMO compatibility bump?

yes, quite likely. We expect to be ready to ship within a week of the merge, and since we're creating new tools for the AMO compatibility bump there's some risk to their date. After we've tested the beta merge and are ready to go we'll see where we are on the compatibility front before making the release decision.

Current 5.* add-on compatibility is 29%, half our normal compatibility when we've shipped a beta. We don't know how this will impact uptake.

Questions and Concerns

Will there be a product-level signoff before the merge to beta, as per the new development process which examines whether the issues being tracked are in a good enough state to merge forward to that audience? (beltzner)

LegNeato: yes! this will happen at Monday's [Firefox/Beta|Firefox Beta] meeting

Axel: did mail outreach to locales on aurora yesterday, feedback says that we won't have complete status before monday. should be expecting some landings on beta post branch. open questions about double merge onto aurora as well as beta - possible impact to next merge from aurora->beta. joduinn and axel to take offline.
